1. DSRI = Days Sales in Receivables Index
Measured as the ratio of Revenue in Total Receivables in year t to year t-1.
A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
| DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
| = | (1011.542 / 6781.292) | / | (962.204 / 7250.552) |
| = | 0.149167 | / | 0.132708 |
| | = | 1.124 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index
Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.
Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.
| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (1439.649 / 7250.552) | / | (1435.654 / 6781.292) |
| = | 0.198557 | / | 0.211708 |
| | = | 0.9379 |

| = | (1 - (2050.365 + 2221.081) / 7191.957) | / | (1 - (2361.254 + 1991.464) / 7052.94) |

| | = | 1.0607 |
4. SGI = Sales Growth Index
Ratio of Revenue in year t to sales in year t-1.
Sales growth is not itself a measure of manipulation. However, growth companies are likely to find themselves under pressure to manipulate in order to keep up appearances.

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 6781.292 | / | 7250.552 |
| | = | 0.9353 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index
Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.
DEPI greater than 1 indicates that assets are being depreciated at a slower rate. This suggests that the firm might be revising useful asset life assumptions upwards, or adopting a new method that is income friendly.
| DEPI | = | (Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) | / | (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t)) |
| = | (308.824 / (308.824 + 1991.464)) | / | (340.988 / (340.988 + 2221.081)) |
| = | 0.134254 | / | 0.133091 |
